Join the conversation at Business Insider

Today, we're opening up comments on Business Insider, giving readers the opportunity to engage directly with our journalism and each other.

We're starting with Discourse, our home for perspective-driven stories grounded in reporting, analysis, and expertise. It's a natural place to open up dialogue and invite thoughtful discussion.

Readers can browse comments across the site, and once you sign in, you can jump into a conversation. Our journalists can also participate, adding context and perspective along the way.

"Our readers have always been part of the story," said Erin Hennessy, VP of Product. "Comments make that community visible. They let readers react, question, and build on our journalism together, turning reading into a shared experience."

Our goal this year is to deepen engagement, and we'll be watching closely how comments, and other features we will roll out soon, help strengthen the connection between our journalism and our audience.
